Jason, Thanks for the response. This is turning into a *thing* now. I'm starting to think it can't be done or there is a serious bug in Android that won't let it work.
But my question now is, can I use a webview like a textview? I have a textview I use as a 'title bar' header, and another textview below scrolls in a scrollview. I assume I can do things like that. But what about building the contents? I use a textview because I have tons of data in a string-array that I insert in the textview. Is there some site that is a good primer on building an html page in a webview on the fly in android?
